She grew up in a middle-class household; she went on to charm school and completed an apprenticeship as an industrial clerk (!) before the war struck with all its terror, taking her to Esslingen to work. Even her marriage to the head of the company to which she was assigned is not all that unusual.  <\/p>\n<p>But at this point, Marga breaks the mould and her life began to take a different course from the traditional \u20183 Cs\u2019 route - children, cooking, church. Her personality begins to show through: after the war, Karl M\u00fcller was detained by the occupying forces. And so it was left to Marga to run the business independently and on her own for many months until her husband returned. By this point, she had already been infected by the desire to do what she wanted; and as a result, she began to take a more active role in the company policy and to add her not-so-quiet voice to determining the company\u2019s strategic direction.<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_4 image-image-module et_pb_gutters2  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_image et_pb_image_2\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"430\" height=\"275\" src=\"http:\/\/mmb-stiftung.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/50_50_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"50_50_1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmb-stiftung.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/50_50_1.jpg 430w, https:\/\/mmb-stiftung.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/50_50_1-300x192.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" class=\"wp-image-34\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column et_pb_column_5  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_image et_pb_image_3\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"430\" height=\"275\" src=\"http:\/\/mmb-stiftung.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/50_50_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"50_50_2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmb-stiftung.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/50_50_2.jpg 430w, https:\/\/mmb-stiftung.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/50_50_2-300x192.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" class=\"wp-image-33\" \/><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_5  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_6  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_2  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">Karl M\u00fcller died in 1959. Marga was finally able to hold the reins and she refused to let them go until she noticed that her own energy was slowly ebbing away. But by that point, she had already achieved a great deal: she had transformed her husband\u2019s company into a business with some 300 employees, production plants at 3 sites and a global sales network.  <\/p>\n<p>You might well ask where Margarete M\u00fcller-Bull got her energy from: she spent her hectic days dealing with all the company\u2019s decisions but also enjoyed travelling (particularly cruises), was an enthusiastic hunter, dedicated her time to various associations, actively worked as an animal breeder for many years and stayed in touch with both Swabian fashionable society as well as her childhood friends from Berlin. She had no children; and perhaps that explains her endless drive for action. <\/p>\n<p>On 17 March 2002, Margarete M\u00fcller-Bull passed away at her home in Esslingen aged 94, after a long, fulfilled life.<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1256","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
